Hi there, Well about using ipaq's as pentest device...I have familiar/initmate linux on my ipaq installed. This device is used for pentesting wireless networks using Wellenreiter (http://www.remote-exploit.org). In addition when found the network, i run wepcrack/airsnort etc. When i got the access, i use nmap/nessus custom unix tools to do the network mapping and analysis. So i guess ipaq is a good small device for that, but remember for running a "good" linux u need a pcmcia/microdrive harddrive like the ibm microdrive. See http://www.handhelds.org for compatibility list etc. But maybe webpads Are better for this job, but they are expensive. You will find on our site soon the detailed howto about wellenreiter on ipaq etc. (We have to cleanup the english first :-) I someone needs it in prior you can get it from here (http://www.pin9.de/ipaq-how_en.txt). Hope this helps, otherwise feel free to join #wellenreiter on irc or visit my homepage At http://www.remote-exploit.org the home of the Wellenreiter (Wireless audit tool). Btw..for all you bsd users..we will soon release the new version with scanning support now also enabled in bsd.
